Sitting on the speeding Zhonghua Car, Göring has been worried about a problem...
Although before departure, the German secret negotiation team received a call in reply that Zhou Guolai would take time to meet him in person, the staff could not reveal on the phone how the Prime Minister of the State Council would respond to the Germans' request.
Although the Chinese had made a promise, agreed to the exchange conditions proposed by the Germans, and proposed supplementary conditions, as long as the poison gas war went smoothly, China would use nuclear weapons as promised and lease them to Nazi Germany.
However, Göring knew very well that at such a critical moment, variables were more likely to arise in the negotiations, not because of anything else but because the Chinese were in a dominant position.[
And he also knew very well that since the Chinese had made a promise and the head of state Hitler regarded it as a life-saving straw, if he failed to handle this last thing, he would probably arouse Hitler's wrath when he returned to Germany.
Uneasy, as a German Marshal, Hitler was completely uneasy at this moment, and he couldn't even care about the bustling scene outside the car.
Soon, the Chinese car Goering was riding in drove into Hanking Mountain. After strict inspection, he was released and finally arrived at the office area of the Government Affairs Council located in the Hanking Mountain office area.
Zhou Guolai did not meet with Goering in the Hall of Nations, but chose a secret meeting room in the nearby Government Affairs Council.
"Mr. Zhou Guolai, at about three o'clock this morning Berlin time, the Allied forces led by the Americans brazenly launched a poison gas attack on our homeland, elevating this poison gas war to a decisive battle."
As Goering spoke, he quietly looked at Zhou Guolai and found that the latter was sitting there steadily, drinking tea and listening to his statement without any extra expression, as if he was just listening to a story.
Has the situation changed? His heart palpitated and he couldn't help but worry.
"Mr. Zhou Guolai, your country has previously promised to accept the lease conditions proposed by Hitler. As for the secret additional conditions, we have also fulfilled them perfectly.
Before I came, Hitler asked me to tell Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhang Shusheng, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of your country, that he was very happy that Germany could fulfill its commitments. At the same time, he also hoped that your country could fulfill its commitments and bring China-Germany friendship to a new height.
, will completely lead World War II to victory."
Goering finished speaking in one breath, and then, like a criminal awaiting trial, he waited for Zhou Guolai, who was drinking tea leisurely, to reply to him.
Maybe he will say "Well, we will think about it." or "This problem is more difficult to solve..."...
In just half a minute, he thought about all the diplomatic tricks used by the Chinese, but he didn't know what Zhou Guolai would say. Would the Chinese really agree to implement their promises smoothly? There were four people in the room, Goering and Zhou Guolai.
, the other two were translators provided by the Chinese side, and Göring did not even have the right to bring his own translators.
"This tea tastes good. Mr. Goering can also try it." Zhou Guolai slowly drank the tea and looked at Goering whose eyes were about to burst into flames. Then he said, "Chairman Zhang Shusheng asked me to tell you and tell Hitler."
Sir, we must do what we say. Judging from the current situation, in addition to providing the German Middle East in exchange, your country has also perfectly fulfilled the additional conditions of launching a poison gas war to push the war to the highest level - the "tide".
so……"
After a slight pause, Zhou Guolai stood up, looked at Golin, whose fat body was about to stand up nervously, and said seriously, "On behalf of Comrade Zhang Shusheng, Chairman of the Committee, and on behalf of my country's 'government', I formally inform your country that we will complete the work as soon as possible."
Commitments on Nuclear Leasing.”
"This, this... is really great!!!"
Goering was overjoyed. He immediately opened his briefcase, took out a document marked top secret, handed it to Zhou Guolai and said, "The first part of this document is a report on the total weight of poison gas jointly produced by our German military and your country's European observation officers. A total of
5,000 tons of poison gas, even more than that.
The latter part of the document contains a few requests from the great Führer Hitler regarding the location of a nuclear attack."
"Require?"[
Zhou Guolai shook his head and said, "We will evaluate the requirements for the location of the nuclear attack. As for the number of atoms to be leased, we will strictly follow our previous commitments."
"It doesn't matter. The head of state and we have always believed in the decision of our allies." Although Goering was a little disappointed, he could only say with a smile, the fat on his face trembling. He actually didn't care where the Chinese chose to attack, as long as
After completing the mission, it doesn't matter to him even if the Chinese drop atoms into the territorial waters of the United States. He doesn't necessarily care about what the head of state cares about. What he cares about is completing the mission.
"Mr. Zhou, when will this plan start? Any territory and airspace in Europe can be opened for your country's nuclear bombers to facilitate their missions," Goering said with a smile.
"How to complete the promise of nuclear leasing and the specific method? Our military will evaluate and formulate plans. I have nothing more to tell you, Mr. Goering. I just assure you that Chairman Zhang Shusheng promised to complete our work as quickly as possible."
commitment.”
Zhou Guolai said, "It is just that before the plan is implemented, Mr. Hitler needs to announce the decision to lease atoms for nuclear attacks to the world in accordance with the conditions in the negotiations."
"There is absolutely no problem with this. I can agree on behalf of the head of state. Mr. Zhou, this is great. This cooperation is very pleasant and will definitely be a Sino-German friendship..."
What follows is some useless chatter. High-level politicians are very mysterious to ordinary people, just like on TV. It seems that every meeting between Chinese and foreign politicians is completed by sitting under the camera for a few minutes. In fact, this is not the case at all.
, especially this kind of confidential conversation, which often takes a long time and is full of things that cannot be put on the table.
Now that he had achieved his goal, Zhou Guolai would not waste any more time with this fat man. He hurriedly ended the secret conversation on the pretext of being busy with official duties. Goring happily went back to send a secret telegram to Berlin, while Zhou Guolai went to see Zhang Shusheng.
…
USA, Washington.
Almost at the same time, after Hitler made a public speech to the world, Truman also smelled the smell of conspiracy for the first time.
However, although politicians are sensitive, they are still not particularly efficient when facing major political events.
Even though Truman had encountered various possible crises, Hitler still did not make a decision immediately after he made a public speech.
On the contrary, the entire White House is busy, and all departments are operating efficiently. Under heavy military and police protection, senior officials and staff from other departments are constantly coming and going from the White House. In the White House, there are small or medium-sized analysis and discussion meetings.
It is also being convened urgently.
It was not until later that day that a core-level high-level military and political meeting was held in the reorganized White House. At this time, more than ten hours had passed since Goering secretly went to Hanking Mountain. What is even more sad is that the U.S. "government"
Of course, it was impossible to know that Hitler would urge Göring to beg the Chinese as if he were on fire.
Of course, this is not the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that the Chinese actually announced to the Germans that they would fulfill their commitments after meeting for less than half an hour.
"Gentlemen, judging from the public speeches of Nazi leader Hitler, the worst possible scenario we have guessed has already occurred. Hitler's confidence probably lies in the Chinese, because they have probably completed the target nuclear weapons lease negotiations."
Truman looked around at everyone. Everyone looked tired. Even Eisenhower had participated in many group discussions and analyses. Now it was time to summarize.
He looked at Eisenhower, the military representative, who nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. President, gentlemen, before this the Germans conducted high-profile nuclear lease negotiations. Although the results have not been announced, we have learned from many
According to comprehensive analysis, the Germans should have obtained a satisfactory result from the Chinese, which was also the main reason why Hitler dared to announce such a tough decision to the world.
I support Mr. President’s decision.”
Truman nodded and then said, "Gentlemen, the biggest difference between a country that is actively destroyed and a country that actively surrenders is that the regime changes on its own and is disintegrated by others. If you don't want the United States to become a Nazi country or an overseas garden for the Orientals,
Let's vote now. Although we have lost the victory in the war, we can retain the vitality of the United States, and we can retain the last dignity and interests."
"I support Mr. President's decision."[
"I support Mr. President's decision."
"I support Mr. President's decision."
"I abstain."
…
So, the 15 U.S. government officials who were doing this started to vote, and the final result was clear at a glance. Of the 15 people, including President Truman, 12 supported it, 2 abstained, and one objected.
After seeing the result, Truman felt relatively satisfied and said, "Very good, gentlemen. Tomorrow we will urge Congress to pass a decision on conditional surrender as quickly as possible. At the same time, we can start to contact the Chinese."
…
Zhang Shusheng looked at the simply modified nuclear leasing plan in his hand. It included a total of five atoms with the equivalent of 200,000 tons of TNT, because the Germans really dropped 5,000 tons of poison gas on the heads of the Allies, and as retribution, the Germans
People also tasted a similar amount of poisonous gas, and even Berlin was not spared. It can be said that there were heavy casualties.
Finally, he achieved his goal. Zhang Shusheng naturally wanted to fulfill his promise. If a man makes a promise worth a thousand dollars, China will definitely fulfill its promise. There is no point in embarrassing the Germans on this matter. There are plenty of places and opportunities to put on small shoes for them.
On the list given by Hitler, Moscow and Leningrad were naturally not on the list. Karelia behind Leningrad was on the list because it was the Allied base camp after Leningrad and the most important military area. Even in
In the poison gas battle, the damage was very small.
Karelia, London, Birmingham, Washington, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco...
These cities were all on Hitler's "self-list".
Zhang Shusheng frowned as he looked at it. Fortunately, the UK was fine. Those Chinese in London and Birmingham who were willing to leave had already been transferred through various means through the 'Overseas Chinese Organization'. There were only a handful of die-hards in Washington who refused to leave. However, there were a large number of Chinese in New York and Los Angeles who were willing to leave.
It’s not because the Chinese are stubborn and don’t want to leave, the situation is very complicated. Not to mention San Francisco, which has always been an area with a high concentration of Chinese.
"It seems I still have to change it myself."
Zhang Shusheng picked up the pen and meditated on the strategic value of several major cities in the United States and the evacuation of Chinese people, and finally checked several places on the list: Karelia, London, Birmingham, Washington, and Chicago.
Chapter completed!
